"As you may have seen, my name has been associated with an Ashley Madison account. I did make the account two years ago," Sam begins in the video above.

"This is an issue that is in our past. This was before I got onto YouTube. This was brought to my wife's attention. She has forgiven me for this mistake that I made in opening the account."

He goes on to explain that he created the account purely out of "fleshly desires and simple curiosity" and says that he and Nia sought advice from their church at the time about his involvement with Ashley Madison.

"I have sought forgiveness from God and he has forgiven me, so I have been completely cleansed of this sin," he says.

"I need to be clear that I have never met a single person face-to-face through that website, and that I never had an affair with anyone, ever, while I have been married to Nia."

Towards the end of the video, Nia says she has forgiven her husband for the mistakes he made in the past.

"Our marriage is worth fighting for and it always will be," she says.

"And I just want to encourage you guys who are dealing with any kind of situation like this within your marriage to just fight for what you have."
